Pacta salone
The performance is a memorial for the victims of Piazza Fontana bombing, a terrorist attack occurred on 12 december 1969 when a bomb exploded at the headquarters of a bank in the center of Milan, killing 17 people and wounding 88.
A journey through memory and time shows 17 dancers on stage, as many as the victims of Piazza Fontana plus an eighteenth: the anarchist Pino Pinelli interpreted by Kea Tonetti. A sequence of 10 paintings tells the massacres, through the projection of images of the time: the victims “come back to life” to tell with their bodies – which become moving screens – those dramatic events.
The performance was later replicated at Palazzo Marino and Museo del Novecento.
